Thread 16 already!

@Birdrib if you read my post I say she is a hypocrite because of how she acted with the Danny situation. Not micheal.

Agree insert- In my opinion some people are so intent on casting Amber as a bully that even when she behaves in a mature fashion, they accuse her of deliberately being calm because she has been warned by producers.
If Amber had kicked off, they would have said that Michael had made the correct decision by dumping Amber.
Michael wants Amber- it’s obvious.
He’s upset because he feels that he has lost her. He is not interested in Joanna
It would be interesting to see how Michael would react if Amber couples up with Ovie,( who fancies Amber)

I would predict a bottom 3 vote to include... (Scenario predicted on what happened last year after CA).

How many were dumped this time last year?

The Curtis/ Amy thing is really sad - the girls were great with the tough love - but Amy, when she said about wanting the Curtis who doesn't really exist anymore, that really rang true. She just really wants it all to be put right when it can't be - I feel for her, but she seems to be sticking up for herself.

Curtis is weird! I found it hard to warm to him as I thought he was putting on an act/ playing a game, and that he knew what he was doing as he's been in shows before etc. He didn't seem mean, just too careful to the point of being fake - but then WTF? It turns out he's crap at game playing - his behaviour is getting more and more erratic.

(And Anna was getting it in the neck as a hypocrite before any of this wobbling over Jordan!)

if you read my post I say she is a hypocrite because of how she acted with the Danny situation. Not micheal.

I know. That’s why I addressed the Danny situation in my response.

Tommy has definitely grown on me but something about Molly i'm just not sure about. I don't believe she is that into him I think she can just recognise a good situation when she sees it, the lack of tears with the fake crying at the recoupling gave it away a little (unless of course that was take 2 )

Great post @nevertalkstostrangers

Michael wants Amber- it’s obvious.
He’s upset because he feels that he has lost her.

I do agree with this, he recoupled thinking Amber would. The look on the girls faces around the fire pit when he spoke about not being happy with Amber, you could tell it was news to them all!

I think Anna was genuinely confused by Michael. She believed he had real real feelings for Amber. More than that the way he behaved last night would have been confusing.
He was defensive, belligerent, pumped up - no doubt because on some level he felt guilt or shame for his behaviour
They hadn’t seen that side of him ever before. I agreed with much she was saying to him. I was appalled at how he handled it and himself.

Husband said Molly-Mae has Oscar Pistorius crying last night - all act no tears
I don’t think she cares for Tommy at all but he is just sweet enough to win it for them. I think he will be terribly hurt.

Amy is very vulnerable. I was mid 20s before I had my first serious relationship. I very much believed in the one, I did go through a lot of crap...I had lots of guys a bit along the lines of Curtis who seemed interested and then wanted to go out with someone else/ just saw me as a friend/ were gay etc...But in the real world that shit isn't as intense, you get upset in the privacy of your own home, you feel sad you eat chocolate or drink wine, feel better and go through it all over again. You can't do that in the LI villa.

Just caught up. I totally agree. I went through being rejected about 55 times at uni and handled it very badly - I'd get super attached to people I wasn't even dating, then bawl my eyes out/binge when I got dumped. But in real life you have to go back to your job, your studies, you have your friends, you can sit in your room and just watch a comedy and take your mind off it. You also never have to see the guy again. Whereas in the villa, they can't do any of that, they literally have no space to get over it and nothing else to focus on - they can't even read a bloody book.

Also, I don't think Jourdan is a shit-stirrer. If I was Joanna, I'd want someone to tell me that Amber had insulted me! She was just being a friend. And we can hardly judge her for her facial expressions - sometimes when you're in a ridiculous/awkward situation, you can't help but laugh out of nerves and shock. Let's give her a bit more airtime before throwing in the judgements.

Anna can get in the fucking bin. Maura and MM are good friends. Anna is not, she's a shitstirrer who just feeds off drama and arguing. You can imagine her getting drunk and glassing someone or one of those girls you look at on the street who then shouts "What u lookin' at?? What did u say?? Come here and say it to my face" etc.

This is quite funny: www.reddit.com/r/LoveIslandTV/comments/c8w5am/anna_at_michael_tonight_do_you_accept_it_though/

“Why should he slow himself to be treated like that by a gaslighting hypocrite like Anna. He's just gotten rid of one controlling gaslighting bully, fuck sitting there and taking it from another”

100%. There is no reason why Michael should be expected to take shit from Anna. Her behaviour was beyond obnoxious and he was right to react accordingly.

I know. That’s why I addressed the Danny situation in my response.

Sorry I misread it, but what about how Anna is acting with Jordan and Ovie now?

I cant believe anyone thinks she is ok to do that, after how she was with Danny and that it's not hypocritical.

The look on the girls faces around the fire pit when he spoke about not being happy with Amber, you could tell it was news to them all!

I dont think that didnt know. Tom was evicted last week. He was on This Mornign saying he saw it coming and there has been problems.

Tom couldn't see when Maura was coming behind him, so i wouldn't listen to him.

Joking, their relationship wasn't great. And i still think he did the right thing, probably could have did it better thats probably why the girls were shocked.

Amy reminds me of Raquel from Coronation Street - Curtis is her Des Barnes.

You can imagine her getting drunk and glassing someone or one of those girls you look at on the street who then shouts "What u lookin' at?? What did u say?? Come here and say it to my face" etc.
controlling gaslighting bully

Seems extreme!
I don't know if people are confusing Anna's style of speaking with her actual words? She just isn't that aggressive, hasn't come close to 'glassing' anyone?!?
There's some OTT descriptions here! Amber and Michael did have a couple of issues but not enough for him to warrant action until a plan b came in... He's not a victim here!

@SharedBluePlanet

Ooh, I'm going to have to google - did she end up with Curly? After being in love with Des?

Did anyone notice when Ovie was ‘comforting’ Amber, she sat up and had to tuck her left boob back into her dress

Tom couldn't see when Maura was coming behind him, so i wouldn't listen to him.
exactly!

If he saw it, I dont get how the women didnt.

I don't know if people are confusing Anna's style of speaking with her actual words? She just isn't that aggressive, hasn't come close to 'glassing' anyone?!?

Actual words are a small part of communicating. And most of the time her words are shouting 'urggghhh' to cause trouble. And what about the 'ok, bye' she did to Danny? Add in her body language and she is trying to embarrass people

Oh and the repetitive 'like?' As though Micheal has to go through his relationship with micheal. Especially when she didnt really give him chance to talk.

I dont think she would glass someone though or that Micheal is a victim. I do think Anna just lives drama and inserting herself into situations si she can make them worse.

I do think the signs were there with Curtis from the start - he was never really that into Amy. The way he talked about her was so strange and wooden. "We're getting on better than ever, there's nothing wrong with our relationship" - no-one talks like this. People in relationships would say "I really like her", or "I'm not that into her" and have a bit more emotion about the person - not just objectively rating the relationship like somebody inspecting a house.

@augustusglupe did that dress no have a left strap. I noticed her left boob coming out and going back in a few times last night

but what about how Anna is acting with Jordan and Ovie now?

I’m not a fan of her decision-making there, I do think Ovie is her perfect man and she should couple with him but maybe should have waited and spoken to Jordan first.

But she’s not blaming everything on Jordan and making herself out to be a victim like Danny and Michael did, so, again, I don’t think it’s hypocritical.

I’ve been watching this with my wife. I’ve been surprised by the behaviour of the women to be honest. Very pack mentality at times and certainly double standards. Is this how young women are? My wife says she sees a lot of similarities in some of them to what she was experiencing between the ages of 18-24 when she was single. Jealousy, men playing her and insecurity. The men have come across as fairly laid back. I watched Jordan shake hands with Ovie last night whilst the girls were having heated discussions all over the place.

Perhaps it’s how the TV want to portray things though.

Danny didn't play the victim, he just said he was getting nothing back from Yewande, which was 100% true.
